New wheels!

Wheel Gallery Very nice. Wide ones on the rear? Is that the new front end?

XLR Custom Wheels I am told these are Corvette Z06 wheels. Their look suits me very well. I run Good~Year EMT 235/50ZR18 W97 tires. These tires are near impossible to get. I recently tried the remaining 4 NOS in Canada and none of them would balance within spec. Be sure to check the 4 digit...

After 2 frustrating visits to my GM Dealer and a call to Good~Year Customer relations, my dealer tells me that there are no more of the above 'Run-Flats' available. Good~Year will not warranty any tire over 6 years old I was told, even if new. They do not give a time frame for retirement. The...

Tinting The only fault I have with my 08 XLR is the very dark tint someone put on side and rear windows. It affects the auto dimming mirror function I am told. With the Factory fabric windscreen installed, I cannot see anything behind the vehicle when backing up at night. Window tinting is...

Lighting Issues While at the GM Dealer (Ontario Canada) getting my Antifreeze Replaced and Oil changed I asked the mechanic about brighter front lighting. He said a guy had recently replaced 'some' front end bulbs, melted the head light and GM was unable to get him another one. They have an...

It is usually the Driver, not the car that is rough on tires. Inflation and Alignment are critical factors. Next is the Right Foot.

Backdraft Mitigation I believe this fabric screen is from GM. A very secure fit with 3 straps per side. I don't like it at night, especially with the dark Tinted rear window. No headlight glare though. At cruising speeds I sometimes have windows up even with the top of Rear View door mirrors...

Temperature Display After looking through the 4 Volumes (over 800 pages) I went into the garage and looked at my display. If you look carefully there is a small decimal point after the first 2 larger numbers. They are indeed a .0°and .5°C indicators after those numbers.

Anti-Sway Bar with Corsa Here is a photo of my A-S Bar installation and also of my formed and electro polished SS 'Splitter Guard'. I had to get 2 additional bolts ($14) for bar/clamp attachment. Ordered from GM. The A-S Bar is tubular, not solid. No Corsa interference. Used an anti-seize...

Rear Anti-Sway Bar with Corsa exhaust. I ordered mine from GM. I was surprized to find they are tubular, not solid bar. Links are not adjustable. You will need to go for a rear alignment when the job is completed. Things move! Attach links to bar first. I tried to attach a photo. That...

Are you located near Carlisle ON? I am.

XLR Survivor My used 2008 XLR came with the Z-06 Wheels. I am not sure if they are replicas or not but I love the look. You and your Bodyshop have done an amazing job on that car. I had considered installing a Shale Interior but after seeing those photos, I got over it in a hurry! Well Done.

Thanks to those who provided the info on this. I ordered a pair and they are now installed. Even the new ones seem a little mushy. I have access to an Industrial rubber lining shop and may have my old studs redone with higher durometer rubber. Measurements were recorded of the new Bumpers...

HOLY Warranty!!!! What was the cause of all that? I'm getting itchy....

Seat Cover redo Very nice. I am not a fan of "cashmere".

7-8-9 What a terrible waste of an XLR and time and money and effort.

Floor Mats It is difficult to see from the photos, but does the drivers side mat have the 2 grommets for the hooks to keep the mat from moving forward?

While on tour today with top down and AC on (nice to have cooled seats) I noticed that the dash Speedometer was in MPH and the HUD was in Metric! I liked that setup, living in Canada. When I restarted the car, both systems were in MPH. No idea how that happened although I had been pressing...

I checked with Miller Auto Recycle this morning. Sadly the vehicle has been scrapped!!! I called again later today and was told the trunk lid was sold for $300. No other parts or interior available. I was told it was scrapped a year ago.
